Q&A about Setting Tools and Press Machines

How can I determine whether I need a hand press or an electric press machine?

The choice depends on your specific needs. An electric press is typically used in workshops or factories for handling large orders. However, using an electric press requires more experience and patience, particularly for adjustments before installation, as each adjustment can be time-consuming. Once the machine is correctly set up, the installation process becomes easy and effortless. Additionally, the results are more consistent compared to those produced by a hand press.

On the downside, repairing an electric press can be more challenging than fixing a hand press. Over time, it’s crucial to find a reliable supplier or brand that offers a machine suited to your projects. Make sure this supplier can provide after-sales services, such as technical support and spare parts.

How do I select the die set that works perfectly for the fasteners I am using?

When selecting the right die set for your fasteners, it's essential to ensure that the die set is specifically designed for both the fasteners you are using and the press machine you have. Using a mismatched die set can lead to improper installation, resulting in functional issues or unexpected defects. Therefore, always choose a die set that is specifically tailored to the fasteners you have purchased.

Can I order a custom die set for my fasteners and press machine?

The most common die set specifications available in the marketplace include HK, US, JP, and CN, which are already listed on our e-shop.

Can I purchase the fasteners without the dies? Additionally, is it possible for me to install the fasteners without the dies?
